Following the success of Wagner's Die Walküre last year, which was performed on the State Opera stage for the first time in more than a quarter of a century, a concert performance of another part of the famous The Ring of the Nibelung tetralogy, Siegfried, will take place, again in a historically informed interpretation. The Dresdner Festspielorchester and Concerto Köln will provide an extraordinary experience, playing replicas of period instruments under the direction of star conductor Kent Nagano. A single concert performance will take place on 1 April 2025 at the State Opera in Prague.
Siegfried will be performed in 2025 by the Dresdner Festspielorchester and Concerto Köln under the baton of Kent Nagano in those European cities with a long Wagnerian tradition. The tour opens on 1 April in Prague, which became one of the most important Wagnerian centres in the second half of the 19th century, surpassing even Leipzig, Dresden and Berlin. Paris, Cologne, Dresden and Lucerne will follow.
Wagner's tetralogy The Ring of the Nibelung will be performed for the first time on period instruments. In November 2021, the first part of the tetralogy, Das Rheingold, was presented in this way at the Cologne Philharmonic. The entire project will be completed in 2026, the 150th anniversary of the first performance of the Ring in Bayreuth.
